We recently published the results from a large randomised controlled trial investigating the effects of platelet-rich plasma for knee osteoarthritis. On this episode, we are joined by Prof Kim Bennell to discuss the results of the study.

Prof Kim Bennell is a research physiotherapist and her current positions include Redmond Barry Distinguished Professor and Director of the Centre for Health, Exercise and Sports Medicine (CHESM), in Physiotherapy at the School of Health Sciences, University of Melbourne, NHMRC Investigator Fellow (L2) and Director of the NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence in Translational Research in Musculoskeletal Pain. She leads a multidisciplinary team including people from physiotherapy, medicine, exercise science, podiatry and psychology. Kim’s research focuses on conservative non-drug management of musculoskeletal conditions particularly osteoarthritis with an emphasis on the role of exercise in both prevention and management.
